With alll eyes peeled to Trump and Brexit in the fracturing of western democracy, should they instead be focused on Murdoch?

January 15, 2019 By Bill Adams

Rupert Murdoch - image link to source article
Kevin Rudd astutely writes in the Sydney Morning Herald:
In Australia, as in the US and the UK, the Murdoch media don’t behave as a news organisation, but as a political party in full pursuit of their commerical and hard-right ideological interests in coalition with the major conservative party of the day. That’s why the Murdoch media has become such a cancer on the wider cause of democracy. We often ponder why democracy has been in such a mess across the Anglosphere. While Murdoch cannot be blamed for the lot, he’s been a big part of the equation. By contrast, the Canadian democracy has been in reasonable shape. Interesting that there is negligible Murdoch presence there.”
